Page Two Nyssa Gate City Journal. Nyssa. Oregon Nyssa Gate City Journal Editor, lhe Journal: The Birsk lag in this issue will be the last of a three month senes. The Log was paid for by Nyssa business men who agree with me that the Birvh Log provides an interesting and informative alternative to other syndi cated columns. I underlined alternative because several people have said to me in the past few weeks "Why don't other features explain things the way Mr McManus does." or "We should have been told the facts about Mr. King before.’’ If you would like to see the Birch Log continue, if you have appreciated seeing the other side of the news and men in the news, you must let us know. Just drop a short line to me and say YES we like it. or No it stinks. We want both views. I want to make it clear that this isn't some kind of membership drive for the John Birch Society. If you wish your comment to be confidential, it will, or simply don't sign it. Send us a note now before you forget.

One Year $ 7.00 Two Years.. $13.00 Bicentennial Operation Alert The American Security Council has launched a ’ Bicentennial Operation Alert" to reach the American people with the grim facts of our National Security. These are facts that every American citizen should be aware of. and should insist through his representatives in Congress, that someting be done of a more positive order. John M Fisher. President af the Council, discussed the battle which he says is our most dangerous enemy: American ignorance and American apathy. At a time when "A reordering of national priorities" is the new political pet phrase, he pointed out. too many of our national legislators are foregetting that survival itself is and always has to be the "first priority.'' At a time, moreover, when those same legislators are declaiming against political "coverups” of the Watergate years, they ignore the fact that “the biggest coverup is how the Soviets are doing." The past quarter century has seen a steady erosion of what was once clear-cut U. S. military supremacy. The USSR's military power, supported all the way by Soviet political will and national policy, has grown and prospered immensely during the same time, and now the USSR and the United States are virtually equal in strength (but far from equal in national will). The next several years may constitute the gravest challenge yet. not only to the United States, but to ail free countries throughout the world. And worst of all. few people seem to know this danger, and even fewer seem to care. During the thirty-year period from 1945 to 197S, it has been demonstrated that in virtually every measurable aspect of military power, the balance has shifted in favor of the Soviet Union. Because of recent trends, it promises to shift even more toward the USSR within the foreseeable future. The NATO military alliance has been a tremendous success in keeping the peace in Europe for over thirty years, a period of stability not equaled at any other time in the lat five centuries. However, there has been a gradual erosion of political support for NATO, and there is more political appeal in cutting defense spending rather than increasing it. The Soviet long term strategy may be sounder and more consistent than our own. and they seem to know how to couple the policy of detente with a policy of continued and sustained military strength. We suggest that a foremost national goal during the Bicentennial year should be. indeed, to "reach the American people with the grim facts.'' If they know the facts, the people will do what has to be done to insure survival. If they do not know, however, and therefore do not act, then that Bicentennial celebration may well bdcome. in the words of Camelot, "the sundown of a dream.” The American Security Council has been on the job for a long time, locking after our national interests It behooves all of us to listen to Survival is a basic interest.

Me JM mm Belmont, Mtueacluuetti — The death at Chou En-lai brings to a doee the career of one of the world's foremast barbarians Aa a ruthlssa in triguer, a conscwncslsss liar, a despotic ruler, and a callous murderer, he may well bo without equal in all history But such wore not tha dsscnptions given to the American people when news of Chou's passing spread serose our land With rare sscsp- tions, members of our news media competed with national loaders to see who could pile lhe most praise on the mses murderer In doing so, each told more about himself than ho did about Chou En-lai. Consider the following drooling nonsense Secretary of Stair Henry Kueinger "I ad mired Chou En-lai very much ... a very con siderable man and a great loader.'* I Yet idem Gem Id Ford ”... a remarkable loader " The Neu York Time» ’’. . . one of the more far sighted statasmsn of the 20th century " Richard Nixon **. . there is none who sur passed him in keen intellect, philosophical breadth, and the experienced wisdom which made him a great loader.” Tint: ”... a life of extraordinary achieve ment” .Sam Jaffa, NBC Newt: “Ho gave freedom to (¿W*^ . . a brilliant loader ” The Truth About Chou Aa ia frequently tha case with prominent Communiata, Chou En-lai came from a «roll-to- do family Given the beet education available in China, he want to Japan aa a young man in 1917 and was introduced to socialism. In the early 1920's he spent four years in Europe organising Chinese students, and joined the Chinese Communist Youth Corps and then the Communist Perty itself Back in China by 1928, he achieved member ship in the Central Committee of the Com- Webb Service Garage Phone 372 2464 i muniet Party and soon distinguished himself by organising a bloody revolt of 800,000 «rorfcore in Shanghai The nest few years saw him loading note in Nanchang and Canton, and starting underground movements in Hong Kos* and elsewhere. When a member of one of hie secret asses sination teams defected to the National»! gov eroment in 1931, Chou ordered the cold blooded murder of the man's entire family Later, he wee known to have personally strangled an members of another family after tieing each victim's hands These records of personal mur ders were only a foreshadowing of far «roree atrocities to come In later years, he betrayed his countrymen in the war agamot Japan After the National»! Chinsss had been weakened by the war, Chou's Hods launched their own campaign against Free China. By 1960, Foreign Minuter Chou wae sending hie screaming hordes against Ameri cans in Korea And he has sent his spiss. saboteurs. eubverters. and asMasina into every continent ever since.

Meo Tee tung, ie the report, The Human Cost of Commu- num tn China, published by the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. Senate in 1971. Drawing on detailed reeearch from widely divergent sources, its author shows that the Red Chineoe leadership has caused the death of somewhere between 34 and 64 million Chineoe In compare eon, Hitler at hie worst was s small time «per •tor, Stalin was a novice, and the Black Plague wae the recipient of a bad rap.
